Empowering Women and Transforming Lives Through Holistic Health with Cynthia May Apr 18, 2023

Show notes

In this episode of On the Homefront, Jeff welcomes Cynthia May, founder of beem Light Sauna. Cynthia has a history of creating businesses that deliver exceptional customer experiences while empowering women to take control of their financial future.

Growing up as a Marine's daughter and becoming a young mom at 16, Cynthia learned to adapt, start anew, and flourish in each new phase of her life. When her daughter was diagnosed with Lyme disease at 13, Cynthia explored holistic methods to alleviate symptoms and discovered the success of infrared light therapy. However, she recognized a gap in the market, as infrared therapy wasn't widely accessible outside of medical offices.

Now operating multiple locations across the South Atlantic states, beem is rapidly gaining popularity as a go-to therapy choice for those seeking to enhance their health and well-being.

Jeff and Cynthia delve into her journey, the innovative "Lumie" – beem's AI-powered assistant for customers and staff, and the courage it takes to dive into entrepreneurship.

Discover more about beem by visiting their website at beemlightsauna.com or connect with Cynthia on LinkedIn.
